Now it seems as though it is always cheaper to just buy a new gadget.

Cake? birthdays only. Meat as a flavoring, not an ingredient. Pies at Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and one gift for each kid. One.

Going with the flow, so to speak!<br /><br />Thanks for the visit today!<br /><br /><br /><br />Hey Linda M...<br />The one thing we can count on with electronics, is that they will start acting up!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by today!<br /><br /><br /><br />Hey Dizzy...<br />You probably remember when FM first became popular instead of AM radio, right?<br /><br />Listened to many of those radio shows myself!<br /><br />Thanks for coming over this morning!<br /><br /><br /><br />Hey Justdifferent...<br />Right you are about sharing some of the blame. I reckon that every generation wants to make things better for their kids compared to what they had.<br /><br />Still, there are some good points to be made for a simpler life style, don't you think?<br /><br />Thanks for coming over today!<br /><br /><br /><br />HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-32355541697729294512014-02-25T10:36:11.639-06:002014-02-25T10:36:11.639-06:00Remember most of those things from a personal natu...Remember most of those things from a personal nature and the rest from my grands or parents. Those things drive me nuts today, how we can be blamed for things we really had no part of. Oh and the problems with our indulged children in this age is the fault of the grandparents of those children too by the way... WE set their parents up to indulge THEIR children. <br />Thank you for your reminders though. <br />Coffee at my desk at the family business all day today<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08994158521419271127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-859045026739138572014-02-25T09:39:02.461-06:002014-02-25T09:39:02.461-06:00I am one of those old persons that remember all th...I am one of those old persons that remember all those things and more. I lived through the change from radio to TV. I remember all the great shows on radio, Straight Arrow and the Lone Ranger were two of my favorites. And guess what, there was only a half hour of music on the radio during the day.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-46911195874105199042014-02-25T07:15:45.868-06:002014-02-25T07:15:45.868-06:00I remember everyone of those things.
